WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW.
Erin Blackwell is headed to college in New York City to study creative writing and earn a living as a romance novelist. Her grandmother has other plans: she approves of the college, but she wants Erin to major in business and then come back home to Kentucky to run the family’s famous racehorse farm. There is no way Erin will agree. Studying in New York and writing her way into a career is her escape from the farm and the family tragedy that happened there. So Erin’s grandmother decides Erin really will live life as a starving artist. She takes Erin’s future job running the farm, her inheritance, even her college tuition, and gives them all to Hunter Allen.
Hunter has lived on the farm for years. He’s Erin’s age, he’s the stable boy, and he’s the romantic dream of every girl in her high school. But he was involved in the family tragedy. Erin has always given him a wide berth. And he’s a slick opportunist. She’s furious that he fooled her grandmother into giving him Erin’s birthright and sending him to Erin’s college.
At least she’s free of him in her creative writing class. So she pens a story that has haunted her lately, in which the horse farm heiress at the very first Kentucky Derby starts a forbidden affair with the lowly stable boy. Unfortunately for her, the day she’s sharing this story with her New York classmates, Hunter walks in. He’s switching to her class. And after reading about himself in Erin’s story, he writes his own sexy assignments that lure Erin into dangerous fantasies about what could have been between them, and what might be.
Jennifer Echols posted about this book yesterday and it totally made my evening.
This book is right up my could be a favorite book alley and I’m more than a little anxious for it. I’m not too wild about the cover but the blurb has me salivating at the mouth because outside of the YA genre, I read romance novels and this book features an aspiring romance novelist…yeah, I’m all about this one!
Right now, I’ve got so many questions running through my head. Why in the world would a grandmother give her granddaughter’s inheritance? Who the heck is this stable boy and how the heck did he manuever his way into a freaking inheritance? What, what who? I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know. This book comes out on July 19th so let’s mark our calendars, yeah? =)
..and that’s your scoop!

Oh, it sounds good! I have never tried a book by her before but I think I can get into this!
Awesome pick!!
😀
so far her books have been hit or miss! Enjoyed Going Too Far, really disliked Forget You. But I will definitely be giving this one a try! Thanks for posting, I hadn’t heard about this one yet !
@Alex: I enjoyed Going Too Far but I didn’t enjoy Forget You as much but still, I liked GTF enough that I’d read more of her books.
@Mollie: I hear you about Forget You, man Zoey got on my nerves but dude…this girl wants to become a romance novelist and that’s full of win! I just hope the book is just as awesome.
This sounds good! Thanks for the heads up. 😛
